Integrate AI into your existing value chain to enhance and support operations, inserting where there is incremental, immediate and accretive value.
\nBottom Up: Innovation
Rethink and reinvent your processes & products with AI as a foundational pillar, to create entirely new ways of building, operating and engaging with the market.
AI adoption isn’t without challenges (your edge). Data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the need for explainable AI. The sourcing of talent, the continuous upskilling alongside a healthy dose (cost) of experimentation. AI is not a “just turn it on” task, it’s a forever strategic commitment.

If you're still here, you're probably in one of three camps:
\nFOMO: You know AI is the future, but you don't know where to start without it feeling like a shitty add-on. Identify one high-impact area where AI could drive immediate value for your business.
\nCompetence: You get it, but you're not sure who to hire, who to talk to, or how to level up your AI game. Focus on upskilling your team and finding strategic partnerships to accelerate the journey.
\nLegacy: You built your stack wrong, your data is a mess, and now you're playing catch-up - or worse you've built an FNAC (feature-not-a-company). Dive in to your your data and infra, start something to lay the groundwork for AI adoption.
\nThis is a pivotal moment, for all of us. Consistent hype, endless learning, always feeling behind. New models, tools, innovations and use cases around every corner. The cloud platforms are evolving at an insane velocity and incumbents owning your customers are preventing market entry. You have to carve your corner not as an AI company but a company built on AI.
\nIf you need help defining your strategy, feel free to grab time with me.
\nNow go make something people want.

Hey Reader, You're tired. You're poorer. You're late. You're a shit friend. You're overwhelmed. High fives. Congrats. You asked for this. 😉 Do you know how incredible that is? The fact that you're even stressed means something's actually happening. Your dev team is slow. A user churned. A customer wants a security review. Your upwork engineer is awful. A partner's dragging their feet. Someone quit. The demo went dead. Those aren't random problems.They're the problems you get when you're...
Hey Reader, I’m about to say something brutal. It might sting. That’s the point. I only ever say these words when you can see my face, so you know how much love is behind them. But honestly. I want you to be moderately offended. Not because I’m trying to provoke you, but because I need this to land. I have danced around this for a while, you have to trust how founder-first I am. How in your corner, I truly am. Last week I said it softly. Maybe you didn’t fail, maybe you just never actually...
Hey Reader, The most founder thing you’ll ever do is clap for yourself in the dark. The everyday battle to carry something heavy that no one even knows you’re holding, and yet, everyday, you choose to lift it anyway. With all the founder myths, the hustle porn, and the startup optics, motivation gets fragile. Not because you’re weak but because you’re bombarded by stories that make it feel that if you’re struggling, you must be failing. But it’s not real. It’s curated. Calm down. I’m not...
